Low Carb Baking

[Bubbsie]

I made this pastry once and got in a right mess as it kept falling apart. I found it very fiddly pressing it into the tin. Adding a bit of vital wheat gluten stops that.

I put a teeny little touch of oil in it...will try the vital wheat gluten Mark...although need to get some more...it goes so quickly.

Easy Tortilla/Nachos Recipe...I 'borrowed' this off @Mark Parrott who I know has used it to make tortilla wraps...I have just tried the nachos...quickly knocked up a batch quickly with cheese to see how they taste...so I haven't been that careful with exact shapes the texture is good...crispy...they are a darker colour than regular tortilla crisps but that will be the vital gluten which is dark...they taste good...will be perfect with dips...yes @Vince_UK even an avocado one.







I have to sit down and work out the carb & calorie content...unless @Mark Parrott knows...will get back to you with that later.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of soya flour
1/2 cup of ground linseed
1/3 cup oat flour
1/2 cup vital wheat gluten
1 tsp paprika
pinch of salt
water

Method:

1. Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Gradually add water until a dough forms.
3. Split into two & roll out each dough between 2 sheets of lightly oiled baking paper until very thin.
4. Heat a large oiled frying pan & fry each tortilla for about 4-5 mins per side on high.

To make nachos, cut the Tortillas into triangles & bake in the oven until crispy. Add cheese if you like.

They taste good NJ...you can be careful with cutting triangles... or just have irregular shapes as I have...they taste really good...will be making some dips later...then maybe have the neighbours in for some dips...nachos & a couple of G & T's

😱 Soya flour, oat flour, vital wheat gluten
Where does one buy these things?

 

[Vince_UK]

Coconut oil I can get at Aldi? is ithe solid stuff?
I genuinely have no idea

Amazon or Bulk powders Vince...they are pretty standard nowadays...also Wholefoods online...check the various prices...I know how you (N)POPS like to save a bob or two.

I need to get some coconut oil today. The stuff I ordered from Amazon it no sitting in a locker at Morrisons which I will pick up after my bloods have been take at 1pm

I have got coconut oil from Lidl but not sure about Aldi. They have it in Tesco but much more expensive.

Yes that's the one Vince...it comes in solid form.

 

[Maz2]

Thanks for those recipes Bubbsie. Will have a go at them at some stage and have a look at online health if I can't get them locally. We have health shops around here - Holland and Barrett and Revital, but will have to have a look.

Will have a look in ALDI today and Morrisons, LIDL is close also althoughI am not speaking to LIDL since they discontinued the Protein Rolls. I am in a BIG huff with them.😡

Mazz you can get most of them online much cheaper...oddly enough I bought a lot of ingredients that are supplied by Bulk Powders from Amazon...they were slightly more expensive on Amazon but by the time I totted up the postage I saved money with Amazon using my prime membership...I'm posting recipes I have tried & tasted...made an odd teak here & there...I want to make sure it does taste good & does the job before we all buy goodness knows how many different products...so far I've made good use of what I have bought...enjoying the challenge of finding what we can eat...rather than worrying about what we can't eat.

You can get it at both Maz...the prices are up & down like a yoyo...sometimes you can get a real bargain...but Vince doesn't have to worry about that...despite his claim to be a poor old pensioner (POP) he is a man of means🙂...i.e. he is just mean😉😉😉 (a term of endearment @Vince_UK honest)

I had mine with chilli, though I definitely didn't roll the dough thin enough. They were more like biscuits. Would've worked well as cheese biscuits.

Did you make the nachos or tortilla wraps Mark?.

I rolled the dough out as a tortilla & fried it, then chopped it into triangles & oven baked them. I will be trying a tortilla for lunch today.

Okay...I just cut the shapes and put them straight into the oven without frying them...wonder what the difference will taste like...I have some dough left...think I'll try that next...probably this afternoon...see which one is best.
